A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.
These are craftable at Tier 3 on the Advanced Textile Bench, so get to gathering those materials and crafting.
In addition to cosmetic updates like these Rugs, we’re always working on new features and performance improvements and we have an update on big improvements coming to animals and taming, and batteries.
Jump in and have a read.
Notable Improvements
- Updated the Brutalist Wardrobe & Cabinet and Industrial Wardrobe & Cabinet to have 25 inventory slots as originally intended (rather than 10)
- Updated recipes for cooking, Masonry Bench and Armor Bench to allow access to T2 recipes in both T3 and T4
- Added recipe for Gold Partition for Art Deco set which was accidentally hidden
- Fixed travel quest step detection for mounted players, allowing those steps to be completed while mounted more reliably
- Fixed a bug with inventory spoilage where there were some specific cases where spoil times of items would not increase as intended
This Week: New Animal Rugs
This week's update brings two new Rugs to Icarus, from the pelts of the most feared predators on Icarus, the Polar Bear and Brown Bear.
These require some unique materials including Vestiges, Arctic Pelts, Fur, Cured Leather and Platinum Weave.
These are unlockable on the Advanced Textiles bench at Tier 3 and require the ‘advanced rug set’ to be unlocked.
Coming Soon: Batteries
Batteries development is making good progress, and we’ve now done the initial refactor of the resource network system. From here, we’re testing and checking individual machines and how they interact with these changes and ironing out any bugs that crop up.
We’re also working on some tools for players to debug their systems and machines when these changes are implemented, so you can avoid the typical trial-and-error approach and get right to the problem.
Early Preview: Animal Expansion
We’re currently working on an expansion to the animal and mounts system in Icarus with some big improvements and new systems with a lot to interact with.
Tamed creatures will be receiving their own XP and leveling system, which comes with their own talent trees that you can invest points into. They will also have their own buff system and can gain two active modifiers from the food they consume, similar to how players have three.
We’re also investigating a solution for being able to bring tamed creatures up to the Orbital Station and back down with you on other prospects, so you can invest more into your furry pals and utilize them across multiple expeditions.
All of these features are in development with substantial testing and iteration needed before being released, but we wanted to give you an update on our work and will continue to do so.
Next Week: Seed Pouch
Next week we’re adding a new ‘Seed Pouch’. This is a bag that can be carried in your inventory and acts as specialist seed storage which can be opened using the context menu. Seeds you pick up are automatically placed in the pouch and we’ve increased the stack size as well.
Ideally, this should clean up your inventory when foraging, and allow you to actually collect more seeds without having to compromise for other necessary items.
If you like what we’re doing with Icarus, and want to support our continued development, consider purchasing one of our DLCs for a few dollars, it would mean a lot to us.
